The 2025 Kia Carnival is here to shake up what you thought you knew about minivans. With its bold SUV-inspired design, this vehicle is all about turning heads while keeping things practical. At first glance, you'd think it's just another sleek three-row crossover, but wait until those sliding side doors glide open, revealing a spacious interior ready to handle anything from school drop-offs to weekend road trips.
Under the hood, the Carnival packs a punch with its 287-hp V-6 engine, delivering smooth power whether you're driving down the highway or running errands around town. And when it comes to interior space, this minivan outshines most three-row SUVs, offering cavernous room for passengers and cargo alike. With five trims to choose from—LX, LXS, EX, SX, and SX Prestige—there’s a perfect Carnival waiting for you at The Chris Auffenberg Family of Dealerships in Cape Girardeau, MO.

The 2025 Kia Carnival takes comfort and convenience to a whole new level, making every drive such that you’ll want to repeat. It all starts with the Smart Key, which gives you keyless access to the vehicle. You can lock, unlock, and even open the liftgate without ever taking the key out of your pocket or bag. When you’re ready to go, the Push Button Start brings the engine to life with a simple touch, getting you on the road faster and with less fuss.
As you drive, the convenience continues with features designed to keep you focused and comfortable. Auto Rain-Sensing Windshield Wipers spring into action the moment raindrops hit the glass, adjusting their speed automatically to match the weather. And with the heated, power-adjustable side view mirrors, you'll always have a clear view of what’s behind you, even in colder conditions. The LED turn signals integrated into the mirrors make it easy for other drivers to know your next move. Plus, the day/night rearview mirror helps reduce glare from headlights, promising safer nighttime driving.
For families, the Carnival offers next-level convenience with the Passenger View in-cabin camera and Passenger Talk intercom system. You can easily keep an eye on backseat passengers without turning around, and with the intercom system, you can communicate with everyone in the cabin, even those all the way in the third row. The Tri-Zone Auto Climate Control with Auto De-Fog lets everyone stay comfortable, allowing different temperature settings for the driver, front passenger, and rear seats. And speaking of comfort, the driver’s 8-way power seat with 4-way power lumbar adjustment and integrated memory system ensures you always have your perfect driving position saved.
In the back, the Carnival doesn’t skimp on luxury either. The 2nd-row power lounge seats with comfort headrests and leg extensions are both heated and ventilated, making long drives a breeze for passengers. Slide-flex seating lets you easily move the second-row seats for better access or extra space, while the 60/40 split-folding 3rd-row seats provide flexible storage options. Whether you’re packing groceries or gear for a road trip, the Carnival has room for it all. To top it off, the dual sunroofs let everyone enjoy a view of the sky, while the solar control and sound-absorbing windshield glass keep the cabin cool and quiet, even on the sunniest days.
